    Anyone get Blue Iris working with Wyze 3 Beta Firmware that adds RTSP Support?

    Amcrest ASH-21 cameras are cheap, have both Wifi and Ethernet, Pan and Tilt, and work fine with BI.

    Help! Need full version of BI 5 - BI 6 causing SERIOUS issues

    Here's the last stable version of BI 5: https://blueirissoftware.com/BlueIris_59973.exe I still don't have an answer to why my issue is occurring in BI 6. The issue happens when I'm viewing one camera remotely on several devices simultaneously. After several hours, the video will freeze...

    How To Revert to previous versions on blue Iris

    I just did a complete reinstall of v5 since v6 hosed up my setup. Make sure you have the license key handy before doing this. What I did was to do Export settings from the About tab of the Blue Iris Settings page. Then I closed BI and stopped the Service. Then I did an uninstall of v6 from...

    I was able to get version 5 full version from BI Support. I uninstalled and reinstalled, so we'll see how it goes.

    Help! Need full version of BI 5 - BI 6 causing SERIOUS issues

    Yes. I even swapped out the camera for a different one on a different IP address. Same issue.

    Just Upgraded to V6, One Camera keeps going down!

    I just got the issue again. I think it happened when I tried to view the camera on an additional device. So, back to the drawing board. I need the full version of BI 5, since I tried to downgrade from v6 to v5 using the upgrade file for 5.9.9.73, so perhaps v6 is still there.

    Just Upgraded to V6, One Camera keeps going down!

    I've been running it as a Service all along. That is not the issue, and the camera is not the issue. It is related to constant remote viewing.

    bottleneck

    What version of BI are you using? I had an issue with version 6 where one camera that is viewed remotely 24x7 would freeze up after a few hours. On the Camera settings, General tab, it would say "frame bottleneck". After many troubleshooting steps, I reverted back to v5 and that seemed to...

    Just Upgraded to V6, One Camera keeps going down!

    I emailed BI Support with all the details. This has to be related to the constant remote viewing, since the issue occurs on TWO different cameras with different IP addresses. I also downgraded to 5.9.9.73 and THE ISSUE DID NOT REOCCUR! So I will no longer troubleshoot on my end, as it is NOT...

    Help! Need full version of BI 5 - BI 6 causing SERIOUS issues

    Ever since I upgraded to BI 6, one of my cameras freezes up after a few hours with a "frame bottleneck" error. I originally thought it was the camera, even though it was always accessible in Hikvision IVMS. Even so, I changed out the camera with a backup, and it still has the issue. I have to...

    Just Upgraded to V6, One Camera keeps going down!

    Well, that didn't fix it. It froze again, with "frame bottleneck" error. I'm pretty sure now that the issue is due to constant viewing by about 4 remote devices, either UI3 or the Android app. I NEVER had this issue with BI 5 or even BI 4!

    Just Upgraded to V6, One Camera keeps going down!

    I deleted and created a new camera in BI and the same issue (frame bottleneck) occurred after about 2 hours. I went ahead and replaced the camera with a backup I had laying around. Changed my powerline adapter as well. New IP Address. Created a new camera in BI with a different name. We'll...

    Just Upgraded to V6, One Camera keeps going down!

    Bruce, I can pull the camera up fine in Hikvision IVMS and view live video. In BI v6.0.1.13, the log for the suspect camera shows it is still running, showing the bitrate, FPS, Motion, Triggers, and Webcast. However, the camera view in the console is frozen, and doing a restart of the camera...

    Just Upgraded to V6, One Camera keeps going down!

    Ever since I upgraded to version 6, I have one particular camera that keeps going down with Socket Error FFFFFF 0 or something like that. The only way to get it back up is to restart my PC. If I try to restart just BI, it gets stuck on Stopping Service. It is the same camera every time. It...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    I've been using BI Tools for a few years and think it is great. Mike has done a wonderful job. However, with running BI as a Service and using BI's internal Weather service, I'm trying to figure out the benefits BI Tools, especially with BI 6. What features of BI Tools are people using that...

    Camera works great on Main stream only, adding Sub stream screws up the Main stream!

    It now sounds like it is probably an issue of every iframe causing a stutter, which is also an issue sometimes in Blue Iris for reasons I don't entirely understand (something to do with i-frames either taking unexpectedly long for the camera to encode, or for Blue Iris to decode). I'd suggest...

    Camera works great on Main stream only, adding Sub stream screws up the Main stream!

    Well, Amazon just delivered and the main stream video was herky jerky like the guy was stopping every second, so my change didn't work. I will try your suggestion of increasing the bit rate. Thanks for the ideas! Also, do you use CBR or VBR?

    Camera works great on Main stream only, adding Sub stream screws up the Main stream!

    It is just a very brief freeze, not even a second. I went and checked another camera that is an identical model that works with sub stream and compared the parameters in the web interface. The only difference I saw was that the one that works with sub stream had 2048 for the bit rate for the...

    So, what's the secret to inserting or attaching images to posts? I tried several times with no luck.

    Camera works great on Main stream only, adding Sub stream screws up the Main stream!

    I have a Hikvision (or clone) IPC3412 camera that works great in BI when I just put in the parameters for the Main Stream. However, if I then put in the parameters for the Sub Stream, the Main Stream freezes like every second or so when on full screen. I have the main and sub stream parameters...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Wow. That's quick service! Also, can you make it "wrap around" if you get to the last/first camera? Now it goes to the all cameras view.

    Blue Iris UI3

    The swipe left/right works on my tablet great. Thanks for that. However, it works in reverse vs. the BI Android app, meaning swipe left goes to the previous camera, whereas in the app it goes to the next camera. Can you put in an option to reverse the swipe direction? Regardless, great work!

    Blue Iris UI3

    Sounds good. It makes sense to only allow swipe left/right on touchscreens and only when not zoomed in. I appreciate all your work!

    Blue Iris UI3

    First, UI3 is great. I've now started using it exclusively on one of my Tablets that streams my BI cameras 24/7. UI3 works much better than the Android App for continuous streaming (no pausing, skipping, or falling behind). One request which would be great for me: While viewing one camera...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I post I posted a screen shot of the only available options available for ReoLink cameras in BI 5.9.9.59 x64: So, not sure how to select RTMP in this version of BI. Not a big fan of using a deprecated protocol.
